Introducing the All-Electric 2027 Toyota Highlander with 511-km Range

Toyota is expanding its electric vehicle lineup with the 2027 Highlander, the brand's first three-row battery-electric vehicle assembled in North America. This reimagined Highlander combines spacious seating for seven with an all-electric powertrain designed for families who want versatility and electric efficiency.

The 2027 Highlander will feature seating for seven, up to 511 km of manufacturer-estimated range on select models, and innovative Vehicle-to-Load technology. This electric SUV will arrive at dealerships in late 2026, offering families a new option in the growing three-row EV segment.

Electrified Performance That Delivers

The 2027 Highlander will offer two powertrain configurations to match different driving needs:

• Front-wheel drive models: 221 net combined system horsepower and 198 lb-ft of torque for efficient daily driving
• All-wheel drive models: 338 combined system horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque for confident acceleration

AWD-equipped Highlanders will include Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control, features that help drivers navigate challenging conditions. The electric powertrain delivers instant torque and quiet operation for both urban commutes and unpaved trails.

Range Options for Every Lifestyle

Toyota will offer multiple battery and range configurations across the Highlander lineup:

• XLE FWD: 77.0-kWh battery with 458-km manufacturer-estimated range
• XLE AWD: Choice of 77.0-kWh battery (431-km range) or 95.8-kWh battery (511-km range)
• XLE Premium AWD: 95.8-kWh battery with 473-km manufacturer-estimated range
• Limited AWD: 95.8-kWh battery with 473-km manufacturer-estimated range

Every 2027 Highlander will come equipped with a North American Charging System (NACS) port, providing access to thousands of Level 3 DC fast charging stations across the country. This widespread charging network makes long-distance travel more convenient for families.

Vehicle-to-Load: Power When You Need It

One of the Highlander's most practical features is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology. This capability turns your SUV into a mobile power source that can run external devices or serve as emergency backup power during outages. With the purchase of bi-directional accessories, you can power camping equipment, tailgate appliances, or essential home devices when the grid goes down.

V2L technology adds real-world utility beyond transportation. The Highlander becomes a tool for adventure and a safety net for unexpected situations - functionality that gasoline SUVs cannot provide.

Space and Versatility for Growing Families

The 2027 Highlander will maintain the three-row seating that families depend on, with room for up to seven passengers. The modified Toyota Next Generation Architecture-K (TNGA-K) platform was specifically developed to house the high-capacity battery while maximizing interior space. This engineering ensures passengers enjoy generous legroom and headroom in all three rows.

When you need cargo space instead of passenger capacity, the third row folds flat to reveal 1,290 litres of storage. This flexibility makes the Highlander capable of hauling sports equipment, camping gear, or weekend shopping trips. The electric powertrain's compact design allowed engineers to preserve the practical interior dimensions that make the Highlander a popular family vehicle.

Technology That Keeps You Connected

The 2027 Highlander will feature Toyota Multimedia with 5G network connectivity, delivering fast, reliable access to connected services. Standard Drive Connect will include:

• Intelligent Assistant
• Cloud Navigation
• Destination Assist

Safety Connect and Service Connect trials will also be included, providing peace of mind through emergency assistance and vehicle health monitoring.

The digital gauge cluster displays full-screen turn-by-turn navigation, keeping critical information directly in your line of sight. A built-in Drive Recorder uses exterior cameras to capture 20-second clips of both manual and triggered events, providing documentation in case of incidents or memorable moments on the road.

Safety Features That Protect What Matters Most

A Historic Moment for Toyota

The 2027 Highlander will be the fourth battery-electric vehicle in Toyota's Canadian lineup, joining the bZ, bZ Woodland, and C-HR. As Toyota expands its electrified offerings to 22 models with various powertrain options, the Highlander stands out as the brand's first three-row BEV and first electric vehicle assembled in North America.

Manufacturing takes place at Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky facility, with batteries sourced from the newly opened assembly plant in Liberty, North Carolina. This North American production strategy reduces transportation emissions and supports local manufacturing jobs while ensuring Toyota can satisfy growing demand for electric family vehicles.

The Highlander is expected to go on sale in late 2026, marking a new chapter for a nameplate that has served families for more than 25 years.
